I just bought a pontoon boat that has a 1997 evinrude 50 horse 3 cylinder outboard. I noticed that on the starboard side of the engine just behind the carbs. there is some kind of little valve that has a few hoses running to it. There is a very small amount of fluid coming from one hose that smells like fuel. There is a valve that flips back and forth. The engine runs with the valve in either direction. What is this thing and which way should the valve point?
